  "account": "Microsoft's latest Windows 11 update is causing issues with audio on certain PCs. Users have reported that the September update has disrupted sound on some systems, and the Sound panel in the Settings app is unresponsive. This bug is affecting USB Audio Class 1.0 devices, which may fail to start or produce audio. The Sound panel's unresponsiveness makes it difficult to troubleshoot the issue. Additionally, this update has reportedly impacted the File History feature, causing it to fail and fail to work. Microsoft is currently working on a fix, but there is no ETA for the resolution. Until then, users can try troubleshooting by checking their audio output settings or removing the update until Microsoft provides a solution.",
